If they want to get more Volunteers, and keep retention high, then they need to bring in more incentives for those on the fence.
I propose that all soldiers serving should be Tax Free for the duration of service, with an added % of that after 10 yrs of service as well as benefits. For instance, someone who separates after 10 yrs, would get 50% retirement, and 50% tax free, and on up to 20 yrs. at 100%. Stay in longer than 20 and get added incentives, I.E. more pay.
This would help, bring in more prospectives, and help retention for those that are on the fence with staying.
Not to mention a fix to the SDP program, more like a 401K...........
